Laughing Aloud Lyrics

Eight weeks in the city,
And you've never looked so pale,
They say the pure of heart don't stand a chance,
And you'd better learn to swim,
'Cos there will be rainy days.

I'm blinded the brake lights,
Well there's nothing moving here,
And all your burning questions, they just get answered with another one,
And there's no help at all.

So question me no questions,
It's a pointless enterprise,
You ask and i'll only tell you what i think you want to hear,
oh mind the whitest lies.

'Cos the truth,
Well it's for students for philosophy,
And faith is for losers like us,
And secrets are for people who intend to get away with being in the wrong,
So don't you breath a word.

But save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, again.
Save your breath,
For the talking all night, oh.
Save you breath,
For the laughing aloud, again.
Save your breath,

Save your breath.

Will you listen to their bleeding hearts?
Pretend to show concern,
And so we glanced our watches and join in as everybody sings,
Oh what have we become?

Will you hop a train to anywhere?
It sure ain't no place like home,
Where there are no strangers,
Only people you don't wanna know,

But before the crying out loud.

Just save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, again.
Save your breath,
For the talking all night, oh.
Save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, oh.
Save your breath,

Save your breath.

So meet me by the station,
And bring a change of heart,
And smile away the old country as we watch it dissappear
And pull these years apart.

And scatter from the window,
To settle on the fields,
And tell yourself a hundred times that forever starts today,
And think how good it feels.

To save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, again.
Save your breath,
For the talking all night, oh.
Save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, again.
Save your breath,

Save your breath,

To save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, again.
Save your breath,
For the talking all night, oh.
Save your breath,
For the laughing aloud, oh.
Save your breath,

Save, oh...

Save your breath,
(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)

Save your breath,
(There must be something you consider to be worth fighing for)

Save your breath,
(Waste your breath on running circles, round and round and round)

Save your breath,
(And talking about it when it cannot get you down)

Save your breath,
(Nobody want's that much we just want more)

Save your breath,
(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)

Save your breath,
(Don't waste your breath on running circles, round and round and round and round)

Save your breath,

Save your breath.

David Ford (born David James Ford on 16 May 1978 in Dartford, Kent) is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist and songwriter. He first achieved prominence with the indie rock group Easyworld who disbanded in 2004.

The LA Times said in January 2007 'David Ford digs down deep in the heart-and-soul tradition: an English and male Lucinda Williams? He puts everything into every note, every word.'

Ford recorded his debut album 'I Sincerely Apologise For All the Trouble I've Caused' on his own in his cellar flat in Eastbourne during 2005 thinking he was just "doing a bunch of demos". However, the strength of these recordings led to magnoliaMAM taking him on for management and shortly thereafter licensing the 'demos' as a finished album to Independiente for the UK and then, in April 2006, to Columbia Records in New York for the USA and the 'rest of the world'.

The album was widely acclaimed and featured in the best of lists for 2006 in the LA Times, The Sunday Times, The New York Post, The Word and The Toronto Star - who said 'you have to go back to Dylan's 'Idiot Wind'/'Blood on the Tracks' to find such an impressively sustained, bile-soaked round of invective'.

Ford toured extensively in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia during 2006. When performing live, Ford makes use of a 'looping pedal' which allows him to build up layers of vocals, guitars, percussion and keyboards to create extremely powerful and beautiful layers of sound; most notably when playing the song "State Of The Union". (live footage can be seen on both his myspace page and his old archived web site - www.myspace.com/davidford & www.davidford.mu - current website is at www.davidfordmusic.com)

2007 saw the release of his critically-aclaimed, yet widely ignored, album Songs For The Road. Ford spent the most of 2008 in the US promoting it.

February 2010 saw the release of his album, Let The Hard Times Roll, coinciding with a tour of the UK, with dates in the US too.

In April 2011 Ford released his autobiography, I Choose This, covering his musical experience from high school through to touring the United States as a solo artist.

Ford's musical honesty and passionately melodic songwriting has seen him compared to the likes of Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, James Taylor and Elton John. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
